MANILA -- Filipino-American Robbie Herndon has decided to step down as the Philippines’ first representative to the King of the Rock world finals in Serbia.

Replacing him is two-time PBA Most Valuable Player Willie Miller, who ended up first runner-up to Herndon during the King of the Rock national finals.

The King of the Rock is the world’s largest one-on-one street basketball tournament held every year.

In its debut season in the Philippines, it held qualifiers in Cebu, Caloocan, and Quezon City. At the national finals, the top 24 players battled in intense single-elimination rounds before Herndon and Miller emerged as the top two – with Herndon eventually taking home the crown.

But Herndon, a former NCAA Division II player for San Francisco State University, is determined to continue with basketball albeit in a different venue.

After training in the PBA D-League in 2015 with teams like Rain or Shine, Alaska, and Kia, the 22-year-old believes that his skills and training are primed for another try at this year’s PBA Draft.
